A member asked:
Shouldn't people who train much and thereby also often have high bp be on higher risk for developing aneurysm? because of the high bp...

Good question: we believe that persistent hbp produces the aneurysmal changes and most folks have more less active than more active time. We believe acute aneurysmal rupture is more related to acute increased wall stress. Having said this I am unaware of 'proof' of this belief by controlled study
